How to Make Our Weight Watchers-Friendly Slimming Fudge
Step 1: Prepare the Pan
Line a small square baking dish or loaf pan with parchment paper, leaving extra paper hanging over the sides for easy removal later.
Step 2: Melt the Chocolate
Add the chocolate chips and condensed milk to a microwave-safe bowl. Heat in 20-second intervals, stirring between each round until smooth and creamy.
Step 3: Mix the Ingredients
Stir in the powdered peanut butter, softened cream cheese, vanilla extract, and sea salt. Mix well until the fudge mixture becomes thick, glossy, and fully combined.
Step 4: Spread the Fudge
Transfer the mixture into the prepared pan and smooth the top with a spatula. If desired, sprinkle with a few mini chocolate chips or flaky sea salt for extra flavor.
Step 5: Chill Until Firm
Refrigerate for at least 2 hours or until the slimming fudge is fully set. Once firm, lift from the pan and slice into 16 even squares.
This easy Weight Watchers dessert recipe works beautifully for healthy meal prep and makes a great low-portion sweet snack throughout the week.
